This year's Memorial Day Ceremony will begin on Monday, May 29 at the First Burial Ground on Park Street at 8am. There will first be a Call to Order led by Mayor Scott Galvin, Cemetery Commission Chair John Sawyer and Woburn Historical Society co-founder Kathy Lucero, followed by a re-dedication ceremony starting at 8:15am.

The special ceremony, which is in honor of the 375th anniversary of the City of Woburn, will include the unveiling of a new fence, new stone wall and walkway, new flag pole and a new bronze Memorial sign. There will also be a map and legend of marked and unmarked gravesites in the cemetery. Following the dedication, there will be a march to the Woburn Common at 8:45am, led by Veterans Director Larry Giuseppe and United Veterans Council Commander George Poole.
